THE LAST ROSE OE SUMMER. 



Tis the last rose of summer, 

Left blooming alone ; 
All her lovely companions 

Are faded and gone ; 
No flower of her kindred, 

No rosebud, is nigh 
To reflect back her blushes 

Or give sigh for sigh. 

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, 

To pine on the stem ; 
Since the lovely are sleeping. 

Go, sleep thou with them ! 
Thus kindly I scatter 

Thy leaves o'er the bed 
Where thy mates of the garden 

Lie scentless and dead. 



So, soon may I follow 

When friendships decay. 
And from love's shining circle 

The gems drop away ! 
When true hearts lie withered. 

And fond ones are flown. 
Oh, who would inhaljit 

This bleak world alone ?
